Wang Xue didn't put forward her request immediately. Instead, she said that she would wait until the right time. However, she immediately did what she promised Jiang Cheng.
At noon three days later, Jiang Cheng ordered a very sumptuous lunch from the Juxian Restaurant. He asked the hotel staff to drive him to the funeral home. This time, Zheng Xiaohu's execution was carried out in the execution vehicle. The execution vehicle was conveniently parked in the funeral home. This way, the body could be cremated directly after the supervision of the family, the funeral home, and the court.
The execution time was set at one o 'clock in the afternoon. Because Zheng Xiaohu's crime was too serious, it had seriously endangered society, and the case was personally supervised by the Ministry of Public Security.
Therefore, after Zheng Xiaohu pleaded guilty, the Jiangnan Intermediate People's Court immediately submitted the result to the Supreme People's Court. After the Supreme People's Court reviewed and approved it, it agreed to the request for the execution of the death penalty.
The date was set for today. Before the execution, Zheng Xiaohu still had a few hours to live.
Zheng Xiaohu's parents were also taken to the funeral home by Jiang Cheng. Zhang Jian, Little Bai, Zhao Sheng, and a group of former veterans, as well as some of Zheng Xiaohu's men, all consciously came to the funeral home.
Today was the last day of Zheng Xiaohu's life in this world. A young life was about to leave, and an ambitious man was about to come to an end.
The hotel was very fast. A table of good Manchu Han Imperial Feast was immediately sent to the funeral home. When it arrived, the dishes were still hot.
The table was full of people. Everyone was waiting for the appearance of the main character.
A few minutes later, the prison car drove over. Zheng Xiaohu was taken out of the car. His hands and feet were handcuffed and shackled. Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little sad. He said to the two prison guards who were escorting him, "Can you unlock his handcuffs and shackles?"
The two prison guards replied seriously, "No, according to the rules, it can only be unlocked when he is tied up on the execution table. Now, not!"
"Comrades, please make an exception. He's already a dying man. There's no need to bring these guys for a meal, right?"
However, the two prison guards still didn't agree with Jiang Cheng's request. At this time, Wang Xue came. Jiang Cheng pulled Wang Xue and asked her for help.
After Wang Xue heard it, she was also troubled. This Zheng Xiaohu was a major death row criminal. It was impossible to unlock his handcuffs and shackles. Moreover, Jiang Cheng actually brought a table of people today. If they were unlocked, what if these guys ran away with Zheng Xiaohu?
None of them were easy to deal with. Each of them had great abilities. When the time came, the police might not be able to control them!
However, Jiang Cheng kept pleading, "Officer Wang, he's already a cancer patient. Even if you don't execute him, he won't be able to live for more than a few days. This is his last meal, and he's even eating it in handcuffs. Do you think he'll be happy eating it?"
Wang Xue thought about it and said, "Well, the handcuffs can be unlocked, but the shackles can't be unlocked!"
"Yes, as long as it's convenient to eat!"
The shackles had nothing to do with eating. Jiang Cheng couldn't force them to unlock the shackles. It was easy to cause misunderstandings. It was likely that they would think that they were preparing to escape with the human trafficker.
Finally, after some discussion, Zheng Xiaohu's handcuffs were unlocked, and he was helped to the table by the two prison guards.
After Zheng Xiaohu sat down, he looked at the people sitting there. They were all familiar faces. His parents, his brothers, basically everyone who should be here was here. There was only one empty seat left, which was reserved for Liu Dazhi.
On this special day, Jiang Cheng also prepared a bowl and chopsticks for Liu Dazhi and poured a glass of white wine.
The atmosphere at the table was somewhat depressing. Everyone's mood was not very good. Jiang Cheng was even more depressed. He could only watch helplessly as his brother was about to be executed. One could imagine the sadness in his heart.
On the other hand, Zheng Xiaohu seemed to be in good spirits today. He was talking and laughing. He first filled a glass of beer and toasted his parents, thanking them for raising him.
The second glass of beer, Zheng Xiaohu stood up and toasted Jiang Cheng. He said to Jiang Cheng, "Big Brother, I haven't seen my three-month-old nephew yet. I really miss him. It's a pity that I have nothing now. I can't go to the full moon party, and I don't have a gift to give him. I'm really sorry!"
"Ai, what are you talking about? As long as your brother knows your intention, it's fine. There's no need for a gift. We aren't such conventional people. Come, let's drink!"
"Let's drink. Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses at the same time and drank up the wine in the glass …
At the beginning of the meal, the atmosphere was very gloomy. However, as time went on and everyone began to drink, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Everyone found the joy of when the brothers were all-powerful in the past. They ate the meat and drank the wine in big mouthfuls.
Looking at the empty seat, Zheng Xiaohu remembered the days in Iraq. He and Liu Dazhi took hundreds of brothers with AK-47s and fought with the ISIS people face to face. They had weapons, cannons, and even tanks and planes.
The pleasure of shooting terrorists with machine guns on helicopters was still unforgettable for Zheng Xiaohu. That period was the happiest time for him.
However, after returning to China, in a small place like Jiangnan, there was no smoke of gunpowder or war. There were only street fights and fights for territory. These small things were nothing in the eyes of Zheng Xiaohu, who had experienced great storms.
He turned his energy to playing with women and taking drugs, but in the end, he still lost to drugs.
Zheng Xiaohu drank the last glass of wine again, then threw the quilt on the ground and said loudly, "Thank you for today's meal. It's time for me to go. See you in the next life!"
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to a freezing point. Everyone was silent. Zheng Xiaohu's parents burst into tears at once. His mother finally fainted. Everyone present shed tears, even Jiang Cheng.
Everyone saw Zheng Xiaohu being taken to the execution vehicle. The police began to cordon off around the execution vehicle, forbidding anyone from approaching.
In the car, the police and the people from the court asked Zheng Xiaohu if he had any last words and if there was anything like a letter. Zheng Xiaohu shook his head and said, "I've enjoyed all the things I should have enjoyed in this life. I've played all the things I should have played. There's nothing to regret. I don't have any last words. I've just said what I should say. You can do it!"
After the people from the court and the executing police confirmed again, they decided to carry out the execution by lethal injection.
Zheng Xiaohu was tied to a small bed. His hands and feet were all fixed, and he could not move. Soon, his body was full of all kinds of needles. After a while, the medicine used for the injection was also prepared. After all the procedures were prepared, the court announced the execution.
The needle was inserted into Zheng Xiaohu's blood vessels. The No. 1 drug was quickly injected into Zheng Xiaohu's body. The staff started the injection pump.
With the rise and fall of the injection pump pressure, the No. 2 drug was injected into Zheng Xiaohu's body. At this time, Zheng Xiaohu's body began to twitch and shake. He began to struggle.
A few seconds later, the brain waves on the computer screen changed from regular fluctuations to several parallel lines, and Zheng Xiaohu also stopped moving.
Then, a continuous electronic sound came from the machine. At this time, the printer started to work, and the changes of the brain waves were clearly printed on the paper.
Zheng Xiaohu left just like that. The forensic doctor went forward to examine Zheng Xiaohu. After confirming that Zheng Xiaohu's breathing and heartbeat had stopped, the forensic doctor announced that the criminal was confirmed dead.
The whole process took less than two minutes, and Zheng Xiaohu turned from a living person to a corpse that still had body temperature.
A few minutes later, Zheng Xiaohu's body was carried off the execution vehicle on a cart. It was covered with a white cloth. The police informed Zheng Xiaohu's parents to come over for an autopsy. Finally, after the people from the court and the public security bureau confirmed that the deceased was Zheng Xiaohu, the body was pushed into the funeral home and was about to be cremated.
Since Zheng Xiaohu did not sign the organ donation form, the funeral home could not remove his organs. Moreover, due to long-term drug abuse, Zheng Xiaohu's various organs were rapidly deteriorating, and he was very unhealthy. Therefore, after a physical examination, the hospital was not very willing to take Zheng Xiaohu's organs.
The body was quickly cremated, and finally turned into a pile of ashes. The ashes were placed in an urn, and finally handed over to Jiang Cheng.
When Jiang Cheng received the cinerary casket, he was dumbfounded. A perfectly fine person had actually turned into a pile of ashes in less than an hour. One could imagine the impact this had on a person.
With the urn, Jiang Cheng drove Zheng Xiaohu's parents away …
Zheng Xiaohu was buried in the famous "Afterlife Cemetery" in the suburbs. This cemetery was in the best location in the city, and it was also the most expensive. Jiang Cheng chose the most expensive cemetery for Zheng Xiaohu, which was worth more than 400,000 yuan. It was the best cemetery in the whole cemetery.
On the same day, Zheng Xiaohu's body was buried here. The tombstone had already been carved, and on it was a picture of Zheng Xiaohu when he was young. He was energetic and full of energy, and his smile was very charming.
Jiang Cheng poured a glass of wine in front of the tombstone and said sadly, "Xiaohu, here's a toast to you. When you meet the King of Hell, remember to have a good attitude and learn to be flexible. In the underworld, if someone bullies you, you have to fight with him. We are brothers. We are majestic up there, but we can't fall down in the underworld. If you can't beat him, then wait for me to go down. When I go down, we will reunite and fight again!"
It was getting late, and the night began to fall. Everyone went back, and only the drunk Jiang Cheng was left in front of the tombstone. Zhang Jian and the others left, and Zheng Xiaohu's parents were also sent home. Jiang Cheng drove his own car, and he stayed behind.
Today, he drank a lot of wine, and he was drunk, but he kept talking to himself in front of the tombstone.
